However, I didn't do a thing to it the first two years to make it cosmetically nicer or perform better because I knew it was an old high mileage Porsche that would require a lot of repairs to make it dependable. And I was not wrong.



IMNSHO, the first thing a new 986 owner should do is open a new savings account and put $150 a month into it so he has repair money when he needs it, because he's going to need repair money that he would probably piss away on mods and wish he'd saved.

So true, the original owner of my car spent 11k in maintenance in 51k miles and he's a senior driver.

And yet again, not everyone is poor..
